Hello again,
Using lspci -v, I found that my new Netgear WG511T wireless PCMCIA card has
the
Atheros chipset (AR5212).
However, when I use the GUI to add the card as eth1, I don't see Atheros
listed among
the choices.
Any advice is most welcome.
Look for the MadWifi drivers. I believe the AT or Livna repository has
them. (Or you can build them from source. Just make sure you have
kernel-devel and sharutils installed.)
There is a problem building MadWifi on kernels 2.6.18+. I have not gotten
that working yet. (Supposedly you just replace all the includes for
config.h to autoconf.h, but that still did not compile for me. Need to
spend more than 30 second on the problem I guess...)
